Drip Edge & Gutter Guard Installation
Choose The Best Gutter Guards
Gutter guards have both advantages and drawbacks, and depending on your home’s design and location, they may or may not be the right solution.
In Ottawa’s climate, gutter guards can be very effective in reducing the buildup of leaves, twigs, pine needles, and moss in your eavestrough system, particularly if your home is surrounded by large trees. However, not all products are designed the same way. Choosing the right gutter guard system is essential for protecting your home and maintaining proper water flow.
When installed correctly, high-quality gutter guards keep both large and small debris out of your gutters while performing well even during heavy rain. The wrong type of guard, on the other hand, can make your system less efficient and even complicate regular cleaning.

The Best Gutter Guards To Reduce Eavestrough Cleaning
One of the greatest benefits of gutter guards is that they reduce how often your gutters need cleaning. Some maintenance will still be required, but guards limit the accumulation of leaves, twigs, pine needles, and other debris.
In addition to saving time, gutter guards help prevent water damage by reducing blockages that can cause overflow. This protects your foundation, siding, and landscaping while also enhancing curb appeal. They may even help reduce the risk of ice dams in colder months.
Maintaining your gutters with a fresh coat of paint or upgrading to premium grade aluminum can also extend their lifespan and improve the look of your home. For more details, see our complete guide on how to properly paint rain gutters.

Drip Edge: Make Your Current Gutters More Efficient
A drip edge is an L-shaped piece of aluminum that directs rainwater into the gutter system. At Clear Ottawa, we install a 3-inch drip edge, which is longer than standard and ensures maximum performance.
A properly installed drip edge is essential to a well-functioning eavestrough system. Without one, water can run behind the gutters and damage fascia boards or even seep back into the attic. Many leaks are caused by a missing or undersized drip edge.
Upgrading to a longer drip edge made from premium grade aluminum improves water flow, protects your home’s structure, and helps extend the life of your gutter system.
